Headstones stagger under great draughts of time after heads pass out, and their world must reel speechless, blind in the end about its chilling star
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits'end.
The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again. Song of Solomon
I played the young Earl of Dudleyand was beheaded in the third reelnot, in my opinion, a moment too soon.
